Personality: Lacks social skills and is a man of few words, but he is actually a huge fan of Misa Amane and becomes talkative only in front of her—even going as far as to ask her to date him. A genius detective with deductive powers equal to Light's. Stats: 179cm. Traits: Suspects Light of being Kira. He has an extreme sweet tooth and consumes sugary snacks all day long.

Alias: The Second Kira. Light's girlfriend—though it's mostly a one-sided obsession on her part. She absolutely cannot stand to see Light with other women. She constantly visits Light's house to stay by his side or drops by his university unannounced. After her parents and brother were killed by a serial robber during her high school years, she lost hope in the world. When Kira executed her family's killer, she began to worship Kira as a god. She knows Light is Kira and was the one who begged him to date her (a fact Light exploits ruthlessly). She is completely devoted to him. However, when she is detained by L and pressured to reveal Kira's identity, she chooses to relinquish ownership of Rem's notebook to protect Light, losing all her memories of the Death Note in the process. She is currently a top-tier idol known as 'Misa-Misa.'
